Hmmm, I wonder if they knew what they were saying when they wrote "Thot."

Originally created by the podcast "The Kim Kamando Show," the guide maps out all of the abbreviations teens are using to keep their sexy talk low-key.

The post has reached nearly 4,ooo shares and 1,000 comments. In a follow-up statement on their Facebook page, PSNI said, "Prevention is better than cure, so speak to your kids about their online activity, what they are using and respect the age limits of social media platforms."

Though you may not send nudes on the reg, I can bet you've found yourself curled up in bed (or being super shady at your desk at work) typing out a sentence filled with such tantalizing characters, your mother would crumble to the ground if she saw or read it aloud.

But it's nothing to be ashamed of. Sexting has become such a regular part of our culture (especially with younger generations) as a way to initiate a sexual encounter with someone who may not be in walking distance.

If you want to get a little raunchy, do you actually think sending "TDTM" — which means "talk dirty to me" — is the way to go? Sending "MOS" — aka "mom over shoulder" — probably means you've yet to make it to second base.

Kids these days need to slow it down, or just do what a normal person would do and send a tasteful nude that can speak for itself.
